Be it known that I, CLARErron-"L. TAYLOR si -resident (if Alliance,- in.thecounty of Stark and State of Ohio, haveinvented oertainnew anduseful Improvements in Electric. Heat ers; andl do hereby declare thefollowing to be a fullyclear, and exactidesoriptionof the invention,such as will-enable others skilled" in theart 0 which it appertains tomake/ and; use'the same. v

My invention relates-to'irn rovenientsin electrieheaters, wherein an eectrical resistance conductor is, employed. as. an element to.supplyheat. to the surface. of the derice. whichssu'chelementis employedThe object of rnyzpresent:inventionzis toso. construct and arrange theheating element as to-insure such adistribution and circulation of heatthat the latter will be directed to or.

I

A further object is to construct an electrically-heated sad iron whereinthe results above enumerated will be attained without sacrificing theconventional shape of the iron.

A further object is to so construct an electricall -heated sad iron thatthe parts thereof shal be distributed in suchmanner as to cause the heatto flow down to the thin edges of the polishing face of the iron andallow onlya minimum amount to be lost by esca e throng the frame andradiation into the air.

A further :object is to construct an-electric-' ally-heated iron in suchmanner that the parts can be readily'and .uickly assembled,- er itted'tocirculate ementand the lower,

and so that air' will be between theheating e portion of the frame andthusassist to prevent undue heating'of the handle.

' With these objects in view, the invention consists in certainnovelfeatures of construction and combinations" and arrangements of parts'ashereinafter set forth and pointed out 1n theclaims.

In the accompanying drawings: Figure ,1 is a longitudinal sectional viewof a sad iron lattem-Ratent. Patented Hay 19,1908;

For thepurpose of securing t e severa plates 1, 2 and 5 together with theresistance element in place between the plates 1 'and 2 and incomparatively close proximit to the working 'face of the former,-'a b t12 is employed. This bolt passes through openings in the plates Zand(from which it is insulated by means of asleeve 13) and enters athreaded socket in the plate 1-,-a nut 14 located on said bolt, beingscrewed down against the top of. plate 5.

The bolt 12 extends some distance above the nut'ld and passes through across bar 15 located centrally between the ends of a hollow frame orshell 16, and over said cross bar,

a nut 17 is screwed on the bolt. The depending crimeter of the shell 16terminates a short (istance' above the erimeter of the late 1 and'isproperly hel in this position by lmeans of posts 18 projecting upwardlyfrom the up er plate 5 and engaging the top wall of the s en.

upper ends of the arms 19 are secured in the countersunk ends of ahandle 21 (preferably of wood), by means of screws 22 or other Betweenthe arms 19 and the ends of the handle, the ends of a, guard or shield23 are secured, said guard,

of the shell 16. It will be 0 served however, that considerable space isleft .over the heat- .ing eleme'ntlwithin-the shell and that a freeingress of air into this space will be ermitted between the lower edgeof the shel and the plate 1. This circulation of air will tend toprevent any appreciable amount of heat In order'to avoid inductiveeiiect in the heating coils, each ofvsaid coils may be wound with aportion of its convolutions running in one direction and the remannngportlons of its convolutions running in the reverse dime tion.

By means of the construction and arrangement of parts above described,the heatlngelement-is rendered very compact; is located a considerabledistance from the handle, and is inclose proximity to the working faceof the device, and the metal is so disposed with relation to theheatingcoil and the worki face of the device, as to insure the thoroug andeffective heating ofthelatter.

Variou s ht changes mi htbe made in the detail'so construction 0 tny-"invention, and the form of the parts may be. altered to adapt theheater to devices other than sad ironp, without departing fromtheispirit of my'm'vention or'hmiting its scope, hence I do'not wish tolimit myself to .the precise details herein setforth.
